Exciting news! Today, I'm proud to announce the launch of Plant-based Kusina's website ( https://lnkd.in/drvhrCDE ), highlighting our journey to provide affordable, healthy, and delicious meals for busy millennials and Gen Z. As a sole proprietor who started what was a passion project in 2021, I immersed myself in learning more about digital marketing to amplify our reach, resulting in more than 8000 followers and a staggering 50% increase in sales during our first free delivery promo. But our growth goes beyond numbers. By hiring and fairly compensating cooks and delivery riders who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, we've become a support system for their families. Our dedication to quality and innovation has garnered recognition from esteemed brands, including McCormick, Unmeat, Naturals by Equal, Slimmers World, and Fresh Pick by Zest-o, expanding our offerings and strengthening our commitment to providing top-notch experiences to our customers. Through strategic collaborations and participation in bazaars, we've amplified awareness about Plant-based Kusina, reaching more individuals seeking healthier alternatives. Join me in celebrating not just our growth but also the collective effort toward a healthier, more sustainable future. A thousand thanks to the thousand customers we've served for trusting us on your health journey! #PlantBasedKusina #HealthyEating #Entrepreneurship #DigitalMarketing #Partnerships #GrowthJourney

Early Starts, Great Food, and Big Ambitions Why am I driving out of Kakanui at 1:34 a.m on a monday morning? Because Mīti doesn’t just make itself! Another week of production in Auckland awaits, to make sure we have enough to go around. This weekend was about product testing with some Waitaki legends. Whitestone Cheese and Mīti Beef Bites. One’s an icon of the Waitaki; the other’s hopefully the next big thing. But Mīti is about more than great taste. It’s about creating solutions—like giving bobby calves a better life by grazing them to 10 months. It’s a win for the calves, the environment, and New Zealand’s red meat story. With 75% of our PledgeMe goal reached, the finish line is in sight with pre-sales closing friday. Let’s make this week count. Support us here on PledgeMe and help bring the best of the Waitaki (and the world) to snackers everywhere. Just a few more days, and I’ll stop harping—I promise! 😉 https://lnkd.in/gwJueRrF

Meals In Minutes, a Malaysian frozen meal startup, has raised US$1.5 million in funding from prominent investors, including 500 Global. Founded in early 2020 by Brandon Lim & Khiara Mia, the company capitalizes on a growing consumer trend favoring nutritious and convenient meal options. Their product line includes blast-frozen, vacuum-packed meals, designed to maintain peak freshness and flavor. These meals have a shelf life of over 1 year, catering to busy consumers who often resort to unhealthy fast food or frozen meals laden with preservatives. Brandon Lim, leveraging his experience in the food manufacturing industry, identified a significant gap in the market where consumers were seeking healthy and quick meal solutions. Meals in Minutes allows customers to customize their meals by mixing and matching proteins, bases, and sides, with cooking methods ranging from sous-vide boiling to microwave heating. With this new funding, Meals in Minutes plans to expand its reach into the UK market while solidifying its presence in Malaysia & Singapore. The startup aims to enhance its product line by introducing traditional local flavors, such as rendang & nasi lemak. Strategic partnerships with premium grocers like Jaya Grocer & Village Grocer have been crucial to its growth, allowing the brand to reach a wider audience across Malaysia. #MealsInMinutes #FrozenFoodInnovation #HealthyConvenience #AthenaCapitalVentures
